And for OP, level 4 @ main has max bitrate of 12Mbps, that could effect quality for 1080p. But as I said above, I'm pretty sure that its left unrestricted at auto, so in that case it wont effect your output.
My understanding is that it will automatically enforce the appropriate vbv-bufsize and vbv-maxrate for the given level irrespective of whether it was manually or automatically set. I've not tested that recently, though. It'd be obvious in the console output at the start of encoding.
